Metal-smith, jewelry designer and fine artist Simone De Bernard Mas created a line called LipService for the Spring/ Summer 2012 collection. Her designs are inspired by growing up in the Caribbean, mostly working with oxidized metals and precious stones. Her sculptural work has been on display in her home base of Florida at the Graham Center Art Gallery at Florida International University. From salivating lips to even vagina sculptures, her work transforms metal into observational shapes, objects and yes, even the most intimate of body parts.
